2x Lasidora Parahybana spiderlings.
Received on 15/02 and neither have moulted (never found any moults and they look same(ish) size). They are both very active and have decent sized abdomens. With very slight dark patches - however not enough (imo) to be premoult yet.
Both are great eaters. Fed every 3-5 days. Either fully sized waxys or chopped in half locusts. (I buy locusts for my other Tarantulas and dislike fruit flies etc). They will usually take down the waxy or scavenge the locust within 24hrs.
Both are kept in the "pill bottles" they were shipped in with coco fibre half way and havee created small side burrows which they sometimes use. No sign of webbing in either.
Watered with dropper on side of tubs every 4-5 days. Temps in Room are between 64-68 f (whole room heated with no heat matts or direct heating).
I am unsure if just being an overly worried keeper, I have a Grammastola Pulchra juvie who I've had from a sling and it moulted much faster - and based on my research LP's would be much faster growing.
Any advise or husbandry mistakes I may be making would appreciated. As would "just be patient" and leave them be
Thanks in advance everyone.
